BOOK: PROFESSOR CHALLENGER: NEW WORLDS, LOST PLACES

"Science seeks knowledge! Let the knowledge lead us where it will,
we still must seek it! To know once and for all what we are, why we
are, where we are, is that not in itself the greatest of all human
aspirations?" – Professor G. E. Challenger, When the World Screamed

Brilliant, belligerent and bearded in equal measure, incapable of
suffering fools, or journalists, gladly, the greatest scientific mind of
his generation - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Professor George Edward
Challenger returns in ten all-new tales of scientific adventure and
wonder. He is the discoverer of The Lost World, the prophet of The Poison Belt, the destroyer of The Disintegration Machine, and the man who made the World Scream!
Who can deliver mankind from the shackles of ignorance? Who else but
that great self-proclaimed champion
of science? We give you, ladies and
gentlemen, children of all ages, the one, the only, Professor George
Edward Challenger!

This original anthology, from the authors and editors who brought you
the Gaslight Sherlock Holmes series, sees Challenger and his stalwart
companions including the reporter Malone, big game hunter Lord John
Roxton and the skeptical colleague Professor Summerlee, travel across
space and witness the ravages of time, narrowly eluding a dinosaur’s
bite only to battle against the invasive red bloom of alien foliage, and
then plunge deep into the mysteries hidden within the Earth and reach
out to the moon and into the heart of the unknown. Strap yourself in
for chills, thrills, and challenges to the unknown in exciting new
worlds and lost places with literature’s foremost scientific adventurer.

"The whole matter is very fully and lucidly discussed in my forthcoming
volume upon the earth, which I may describe with all due modesty as one
of the epoch-making books of the world's history."
– Professor G. E. Challenger, When the World Screamed
